Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
In a perfect world, things come full-circle. From the redesigned, retro-styled Mustang and Camaro to vinyl albums, products can go out of style only to come roaring back. Such is the case with the Koss Porta Pro headphones. Well, sorta the case, anyway. See, Koss first produced the Porta Pros in 1984… and never changed […]

I think I saw a bumper sticker once that read “Dogs have owners; Cats have staff”. This is certainly true in our household and one of the staff functions I least like to do is clean the litter box. The folks at Scoop Free think they have the answer with their Ultra Scoop Free Self-Cleaning

I love gadgets and gizmos with LEDs, buttons and batteries, but I also love analog gear just as much. Things like Moleskine and Rhodia notebooks, pens and colored pencils are usually scattered around my desk and in my gear bag. I’ve recently started keeping a journal again and during one of my epic web surfing

I am a hardcore Superman fan. Over my life, I have seen (almost) every show, movie, and cartoon Superman has ever been in; from the original shows from the 1950’s to Smallville. This includes nearly every Justice League show as well. When I saw this Justice League sticker for MacBooks on tuaw.com…. I just had

I’ve mentioned in earlier reviews that I tend to find many earbuds uncomfortable, especially the hard, standard earbuds from Apple. Although I’ve found a few earphones that are comfortable and sound good, I’m always willing to try out another pair. When Julie offered the MEElectronics M6 earphones for review, I asked to give them a

The difference between a computer monitor and a TV screen seems to be becoming more irrelevant every day. Whether because we dropped cable or want a second computer display, more and more of us are connecting our computers to TVs. Devices like Warpia’s SWP100A Wireless USB PC to TV Audio/Video Display Adapter claim to let you

The audiophiles in the audience will probably pop a vein when they read that I don’t mind using the stock earbuds that come with the iPhone and iPods. For me, they sound just fine and are way more comfortable than in-ear style earphones that a lot of folks like to use. I can’t do the

Quite simply, the Keurig Platinum Single Cup brewer is the last coffee brewer you’re ever going to need. In my household, we’re coffee and tea drinkers…iced tea, hot tea, hot chocolate, lattes, hot apple cider….we drink it all. We just don’t drink the same thing at the same time.

I found out that I was a diabetic back in December of 2004. As soon as I received that diagnosis, I immediately began working out regularly and stopped drinking regular sodas and eating candy bars for lunch. Within a year, blood tests no longer indicated that I was diabetic. But I grew up watching my

All too rarely we get to see a product that does exactly what it promises for a fair price, with good support and a solid design. The BearExtender N3 is that kind of product but only for folks running Mac OS X. They’ve now released the PC version, called the BearExtender PC, and we’re going

Since the iPad was released, I’ve reviewed more than my share of iPad cases and bags. I recently reviewed a bag that I liked a lot, but I did say I’d like a shoulder strap for the bag. WaterField contacted Julie and said they had an iPad bag that could be configured in a variety

Last July was an eventful month for this reviewer. I got to see firsthand how custom earphones are made by craftspeople who are experts in what they do. And I got to take delivery of my own pair of custom Jerry Harvey JH/13 PROs. But before I delve into this review, a little history is

As a kid, I remember using those gas lanterns powered by propane or white gas. Someone’s dad would pump up the lantern, light the fragile mantles, and a bright glow would descend upon the campground. The Emergency Area Light from Coast Products provides an adjustable brightness like the classic gas-powered ones, but goes a few steps

I’m not a big fan of falling asleep with the television on. I do it a lot, but sometime around…say 2 am, I am awakened by loud screaming from whatever cheesy slasher movie is on or the rattling sounds of war from whatever action film is on or worse yet…the sound of some loud-mouth pitchman
